Since various gnupg users have indicated that gpg wants to mlock 32kB of
memory, I created the patch below that increases the default mlock ulimit
to 32kB.

This is no security problem because it's trivial for processes to lock way
more memory than this in page tables, network buffers, etc.  In fact, since
this patch allows gnupg to mlock to prevent passphrase data from being
swapped out, the security people will probably like it ;)

This gets the new per-user mlock limit a bit more testing, too.

Here is the last agreed-on patch that lets normal users mlock pages up to
their rlimit.  This patch addresses all the issues brought up by Chris and
Andrea.

From: Chris Wright <chrisw@osdl.org>

Couple more nits.

The default lockable amount is one page now (first patch is was 0).  Why
don't we keep it as 0, with the CAP_IPC_LOCK overrides in place?  That way
nothing is changed from user perspective, and the rest of the policy can be
done by userspace as it should.

This patch breaks in one scenario.  When ulimit == 0, process has
CAP_IPC_LOCK, and does SHM_LOCK.  The subsequent unlock or destroy will
corrupt the locked_shm count.

It's also inconsistent in handling user_can_mlock/CAP_IPC_LOCK interaction
betwen shm_lock and shm_hugetlb.

SHM_HUGETLB can now only be done by the shm_group or CAP_IPC_LOCK.
Not any can_do_mlock() user.

Double check of can_do_mlock isn't needed in SHM_LOCK path.

Interface names user_can_mlock and user_substract_mlock could be better.

Incremental update below.  Ran some simple sanity tests on this plus my
patch below and didn't find any problems.

* Make default RLIM_MEMLOCK limit 0.
* Move CAP_IPC_LOCK check into user_can_mlock to be consistent
  and fix but with ulimit == 0 && CAP_IPC_LOCK with SHM_LOCK.
* Allow can_do_mlock() user to try SHM_HUGETLB setup.
* Remove unecessary extra can_do_mlock() test in shmem_lock().
* Rename user_can_mlock to user_shm_lock and user_subtract_mlock
  to user_shm_unlock.
* Use user instead of current->user to fit in 80 cols on SHM_LOCK.

Here is a consolidated readahead patch that takes care of the performance
regression seen with multiple threaded writes to the same file descriptor. 


	The patch does the following:

	1. Instead of calculating the average count of sequential
		access in the read patterns, it calculates the
		average amount of hits in the current window.
	2. This average is used to guide the size of the next current
		window.
	3. Since the field serial_cnt in the ra structure does not
	 	make sense with the introduction of the new logic,
		I have renamed that field as currnt_wnd_hit.

This patch will help the read patterns that are not neccessarily sequential
but have sufficient locality.  However it may regress random workload.  

	Results:

	1. Berkley Shands has reported great performance with this
		patch.
	2. iozone showed negligible effect on various read patterns.
	3. DSS workload saw neglible change.
	4. Sysbench saw a small improvement.

Ok I have enclosed the results for the recent readahead fixes.  The summary
is: there is no significant improvement or decrease in performance of (DSS
workload, iozone, sysbench) The increase or decrease is in the margin of
errors.

I have enclosed a patch that partially backs off Miklos's fix.  Shane
Shrybman correctly pointed out that the real fix is to set ra->average
value to max/2 when we move from readahead-off mode to readahead-on mode.
The other part of Miklos's fix becomes irrelevent.

This patch renames fs/aio.c:'struct timeout' to 'struct aio_timeout'.  The
rationale behind this decision is this type is used only inside the
aforementioned aio.c file and being the type name very generic, it is
likely to cause namespace conflicts in the future.

I actually found it while working on an extended schedule_timeout()- like
API used by robust mutexes but usable by anyone.  There I declared a
'struct timeout' and aio.c complained about it.  I could have also renamed
the struct for the schedule_timeout() like API, but being the aio.c one
specific to the file, I thought it might make more sense to rename the
later.

I found one more accounting inconsistency with dio_pages_in_io.  This is a
day-one bug and I started hitting it on latest -mm due to the recent
changes to dio_pages_in_io calculations to be exact.

If the file is badly fragmented (no contiguous blocks at all), and the user
buffer is not page aligned - we need to create IO for each disk block with
2 pages.  (bio with 2 vecs).

dio_bio_add_page() should not decrement dio_pages_in_io for every add page.
 It should only decrement, it only if its done with that page and moving on
to next page.  (since dio_pages_in_io represent how many actual pages we
are operating on).

Here is the patch to fix this accounting.  Without this patch, we will hit
BUG() in dio_new_bio() with O_DIRECT on filesystems.
